In the 1980s there was a desire for a Grand Prix to be held behind the Iron Curtain and negotiations took place with the Soviet Union with a view to a race being held in Moscow. In the summer of 1983 however, the attention of the Formula 1 decision makers turned away from Moscow and towards Budapest in Hungary, whose national sporting authority was keen to put the country back on the map of global motor sport. A decision was taken to build a brand new circuit in a valley 19 kilometres outside Budapest, the valley provided natural vantage points for spectators and in 1985 work began on the Hungaroring, the track opened in 1986.
As the track is tight it might be worthwhile considering a wager on the Hungarian Grand Prix betting outright winner for the driver who heads the top pole position. Although the track is tight, there are 70 laps with a circuit length of 4.381km and a race distance of 306.663km, the circuit has been known to throw up some great races and superb sports betting, the most memorable being Thierry Boutsen's win in 1990, beating Ayrton Senna by 0.3 seconds, and the 1997 race where Damon Hill in the Arrows sensationally passed Michael Schumacher's Ferrari only to be denied the win by mechanical failure on the very last lap.
